From A Shell
Lisa Germano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the world stands still, not a sound, not a sound.
There is love, there is love to be found.
In the worst way, in the worst way, in the worst way.
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the buzz.
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, I wish I was.
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the most fun.
From a little shell at the bottom of the sea,
With the Earth and the Moon and the Sun above me,
But the world fell down with some people still around,
There is love, there is love to be found.
With the gods all gone and the souls making sounds,
In the worst way, in the worst way, in the worst way.
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the buzz.
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, I wish I was.
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, it's the most fun.
From a little shell at the bottom of the sea,
With the Earth and the Moon and the Sun around me,
There is love, there is love, there is love.
It's a buzz, it's a buzz, it's a buzz.
It's the buzz, it's the buzz, I wish I was.
It's a buzz, it's a buzz, it's a buzz.
The lyrics to Lisa Germano's song "From A Shell" depict a world in chaos as the earth spins, people fall down and the world stands still in silence. However, amidst the chaos, there is still love to be found. The song talks of a little shell at the bottom of the sea, with the Earth, Moon, and Sun above, representing a small safe space in a chaotic world. The song talks about how even without the presence of gods, love can be found in the worst ways possible. The repeated phrase "It's the buzz" seems to describe a fleeting sense of fun or excitement that the singer wishes they had.
The lyrics seem to convey a sense of helplessness amidst the chaos of the world, but the emphasis on the presence of love seems to suggest that hope still exists. The phrase "in the worst way" is repeated to emphasize the terrible nature of the events taking place. The song is quite enigmatic and could be open to several interpretations.
